Off The Job

“We have had issues with the town board, and there are some activities there where I felt like they were serving their own agenda,” former Bunker Hill Town Marshal Michael Thomison, who had been serving for four years, told the local news outlet. “They would not communicate with us or the officers, and they kept scaling back.”

When each of the officers tendered their letters of resignation, they all noted the “illegal, unethical, and immoral things” they were asked to do. The cops cited examples such as being asked to run background checks on their town councilors to determine their criminal history — a request the officers said led to threats if they weren’t acted upon.
